Dan-Tien Complementary Health Studio

Specialties

Even if you had acupuncture before chances are you have never had the amazingly powerful yet gentle and fast acting abdominal acupuncture (AA) which is painless and treats all manner of conditions so that they don’t re-​occur. I am teacher of and published author of a number of articles on the subject of abdominal acupuncture.

At Dan-​tien Dave specialises in curing all types of pain chronic or acute, including, Headache, Backache, sciatica, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and all kinds of sports injuries.

I work with all kinds of emotional conditions such as anxiety, depression and stress and related conditions such as Insomnia and digestive conditions like IBS, Crohns disease and constipation.

I have a particular interest and have treated a number of clients who have suffered from stroke and have found that the most impressive results are achieved through the fusion of Abdominal, scalp, conventional and Dr. Tan acupuncture systems.

I also use AA on fertility issues both male and female. I treat and advise on all aspects of fertility and am a Zita West affiliated acupuncturist. I work with pregnancy and post pregnancy conditions and do pre birthing acupuncture and Moxibustion to turn breech babies and prepare you for a natural birth, I am well practiced in inducing labour and have even had cases where planned caesarean section has been unnecessary due to natural birth induced by acupuncture.

I teach Buteyko breathing to those suffering with Asthma, Hayfever COPD & allergy.
